Packard Plant

This shot was taken in 2011 in Detroit, Michigan. It was winter and I had been trying to locate the ruins of the infamous Packard plant. I stumbled upon this garage, soon to find out this haunting site was the frozen ruins of just what I was looking for. the paint was almost scaring the canvas space for these urban artists. I'm not sure what these specific tags mean but some tags I know are linked to graffiti artists and gangs aka return offenders.

Nuclear Jupiter Photography

I am a photographer located in grand rapids, Michigan. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan and fascinated with the city and Michigan in general. I am best described as an urban decay photographer but I dabble in all platforms of the digital world, including wedding, engagement, senior, baby, and family photography! I love capturing bold color amongst desaturation, shadows, intentional over exposure, nature, macro shots of all texture, isolation for impact.I believe that the things most people find to be dirty, gross, or run down, are sometimes the most striking. We cant hide the world from the world and we must choose to look past the rubble to find a city and heartbeat emerging beneath. Nature conquers all though, I have found amongst all my urban exploration that nature and life always seeps through the cracks and begins to rebuild even when society has given up.
